Maintenance and Use of Cast Iron Surface Plates
Created on 10.11
Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and vibration can affect the flatness precision of cast iron surface plates. Therefore, it is essential to maintain stable operating conditions. To ensure optimal accuracy in daily applications, proper use and regular maintenance are critical. Incorrect operation may lead to measurement errors, while inadequate maintenance can result in loss of surface accuracy and compromise the quality of inspected components. Please adhere to the following guidelines for using and maintaining cast iron surface plates.
Pre-Use Preparation
- Verify that the surface accuracy of the plate is within acceptable tolerance.
- Check for any signs of corrosion, wear, scratches, or other surface defects.
- Remove all sharp debris, oil stains, dust, and residues.
- Wipe the surface clean using a soft cloth or lint-free paper.
- Maintain a regular inspection record.
- Store the surface plate and measuring instruments separately in appropriate locations—do not stack them.
Operational Guidelines
- Ensure full contact between the workpiece and the plate without tilting. Avoid touching the measuring surface with hands.
- Apply moderate measuring force. Excessive pressure may cause errors or damage the plate.
- Do not measure rotating workpieces to avoid potential hazards.
- Avoid knocking or moving the plate arbitrarily.
- Follow specific procedures when measuring specialized workpieces.
Post-Use Maintenance
- Clean the surface plate thoroughly after use.
- Apply a layer of rust-resistant oil and store the plate in a dedicated cabinet.
- Only authorized personnel should perform disassembly, adjustment, repair, or reassembly.
- Conduct regular performance inspections on stored plates and keep maintenance logs.
- Perform periodic precision verification and maintain validation records.
